WISCONSIN— Over the past month, gas prices in Wisconsin have kept climbing, setting a new record-high statewide average on Tuesday, at $4.44 per gallon according to AAA.

The cheapest gas, on average Tuesday night, was in Outagamie County where it was $4.20 per gallon, with the most expensive gas in Kenosha County at $4.72 per gallon

"Different gas stations have different suppliers, so the price they pay wholesale actually varies," Dr. Moses Altsech, a lecturer with the Wisconsin School of Business at UW-Madison, said. 

Despite the ongoing record-breaking prices, Altsech said the pain at the pump should still just be temporary, regardless of how high those prices may climb in the short-term.

"I wish I had better news, but remember, it's temporary and this too shall pass," ltsech added.
